newbie question

[Ben.]

this is a big newbie question but if i buy handlebar grip's and new brake/ clutch levers are they easy to fit? and how do you do it? will the handlebar grips jus pull off?
Thanks, HL

Cables (if any) will need to be slackened right off so you can get the nipple out the little hole then old one off, new one on the cables back in and readjust. Fluid systems should be even easier.

If you have bought new grips just cut the old ones off if you are struggling. I use hair spray down the new grips and slide em' on, hairspray dries and the grips are fixed fine

hehe I said nipple

thanks for the quick reply is there any risk of me draining all my break fluid?

If its a normal type of brake lever, when you tighten the screw up, after putting the new lever on, don't overtighten it, just "pinch it". The nut that fastens underneath will keep it tight. If you overtighten it will close onto the brake lever, making it stiff to operate. Same goes for the clutch lever. Good luck

Make sure you don't lose the spring and rod out of the brake/clutch.

You sure you have a hydraulic clutch btw ? What bike is it ?

changing grips,

Wd40 to get them off, hairspray to put new ones on
